So sports fans, you have two whole nights off from the four biggest North American sports league – two of the three days in your average calendar year. It used to only be two, but baseball decided to extend their break by a day.
Quick Tangent: That was always one of my favourite trivia questions. ‘What [...]
It only took until late June, but North America’s two winter sports have finally wrapped up their seasons. Yes, the NBA and NHL finished their finals in spectacular fashion as well. There is plenty of evidence that between the Heat-Spurs seven-game epic and the Blackhawks six-game triumph over the Bruins will go down as instant [...]
If you didn’t see this coming, you weren’t paying attention to basketball at all this post-season. This was one of the most predictable outcomes that, frankly, even a child could have seen coming. Yes, starting on Thursday night, it will be the Miami Heat tipping off against the San Antonio Spurs.
The Spurs were destined to [...]
It has been quite a week for homosexuals in professional sports.
In case you hadn’t heard – which might have been impossible for anybody that even looked at the Internet this week – NBA veteran Jason Collins became the first active player to come out of the closet in North American sports.

So, why should you listen – err, read [...]
Well, the title really says it all: LeBron James is a coward who doesn’t care about fans.
Want some background? Well here you go: If he did care, he would enter the Slam Dunk competition next year at NBA all-star weekend. There’s really no reason that he shouldn’t.
As he has demonstrated in his pre-game warmup dunks, [...]
With the NBA’s all-star game wrapping up on Sunday night, now seems like the perfect time to question which mid-season expenses-paid vacation for the stars is actually the worst in North America. Well, actually, I shouldn’t even have to say in North America because it seems that only leagues on this side of the Atlantic [...]
Welcome to the hangover zone.
We’ve just entered that space just after the Super Bowl, where you’re reeling from that incredible game and looking for something to whet your sports whistle.
